Description
Planted in 1975 and featuring a northern exposure, Reed is always the last vineyard harvested on Mt. Harlan each year, yielding a wine with lovely energy and enticing aromas of cracked black pepper, ripe cherry and red raspberry. On the palate, soft, supple tannins add depth and nuance to flavors of strawberry, cherry cola and clove as they glide to a long, elegant finish.
95 Points -Wine Spectator
This red is grippy, with singed earth, stem and briar notes running through its core of steeped mulberry and blackberry fruit, which unfurls slowly. The finish is fresh in feel, with a mouthwatering iron hint.
94 Points -Robert Parker’s Wine Advocate
The 2021 Pinot Noir Reed Vineyard is a particularly meaty, spice-driven expression from Calera. It opens with cured meat, white pepper, black fruit and graphite aromas that introduce a svelte, polished and mineral-drenched palate. The finish is one of the roster’s more intensely focused and bracing, featuring pronounced acidity and admirably precise tannins that manage to avoid austerity.
92 Points -Wine Enthusiast
Dark berry aromas are awash in smoke and an array of mountain herbs on the nose of this bottling. Candied boysenberry flavors are cut by pepper and a leathery texture on the palate, which will smooth out with time.
